Do you have ripples in the skin above the breast mound?

By Darlene 13 in Ohio on 25 Dec 2011

I have ripples in the skin above my expander.  They have been getting worse in the last 2 weeks.  They are more prononunced when I reach upward. The skin appears to be attached to the underling muscle. they are located above the breast area. I am 6 weeks post mastocomy with expander in place.  Has anyone else had this problem?  WIll this go away once I have the final implant done?

I have this problem as well. It is worse in the side that didn`t even have any cancer. It looks horrible. I like you, certainly hope the silicone implant will make a big difference. Marie Feb, 26, 2013
